Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has expressed concern over the political stalemate in the North.

She said she did not want to see the gains of the peace process lost.

In an interview with RTE at her home in upstate New York, the former US First Lady said: “I am a little worried right now, to be very candid with you.

“I am listening to and hearing reports about the loggerheads people find themselves at.

“There has just been so much progress, I don’t want to see it lost.”

The interview was recorded last week and airs on RTE One’s The Late Late Show tomorrow night.

Ms Clinton also discussed the blame she attaches to herself for her failure to defeat President Donald Trump in last year’s race to the White House, double standards applied to women in politics, and what she intends to do after stepping away from electoral politics.
